Director Sam Wood forced the silent member of the madcap | team to give up his wig for lom:‘ blonde curls and a gypsy maiden’s costume in this comedy to end all| comedies. The Marxians expose the opera in a riotous plot which also features operatic arias sung by Kitty Carlisle, Allan Jones and Walter King.

Each individual Alaska- ram is worth two points and the weekly summary, the answer blank, is worth 12 points. Judges will de- duct for solutions not submitted.

It is unlikely that a contestant will tie for first place unless he scores 288 points in the original series of 72 puzzles. A contestant who has lost points may regain them by re-entering the contest prior to midnight March 11, 1950, and observing the official rules. Any Alaskan may enter the con- test prior to March 11 by submit- ting back puzzles in accordance with the instructions published each ! Saturday.
